The Hill<\/a> is reporting today that New York Senator Charles\u00a0Schumer<\/a> will not support President Obama’s<\/a> nuclear deal with Iran<\/a>. Sorry about my cynicism, but I suspect that decision was made after a careful calculation that the treaty would be approved without his vote. I also expect that if enough Democrats refuse to support the treaty and Senator Schumer<\/a>‘s vote is needed, he will somehow have a change of heart. Nevertheless, The Hill is reporting that he will not support the treaty.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fox News<\/a> reported yesterday:<\/p>\n

The shadowy Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani recently visited Moscow to meet with senior Russian leaders, according to two Western intelligence sources, despite a travel ban and U.N. Security Council<\/a> resolutions barring him from leaving Iran.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On July 24, one week before Secretary of State John Kerry<\/a> testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee<\/a> and faced questions about the newly struck nuclear deal, Soleimani arrived in Moscow for meetings with Russian Defense Minister<\/a> Sergei Shoigu<\/a> and President Vladimir Putin<\/a>. It was not immediately clear what the Iranian leader discussed, but the revelation comes as the United Nations and European Union arms embargo against Iran<\/a> is slated to be lifted in five years as part of the comprehensive nuclear agreement announced July 14 from Vienna.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Senator who takes his Oath of Office seriously can honestly vote for the Iranian treaty. However, I suspect it will pass. Democrats tend to stick together, even when it involves jumping off a cliff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
